your FU money formula doesn't work. don't have time to figure out where you might have made a transcription error.

  I have verified the formula by simulations in excel. Perhaps you're doing something wrong.

    He's right. I'm not sure what your 'simulation' involves, but it's possible you just happened to pick numbers where the ratio produces similar results to the difference. Try inflation = 0.0001% and interest = 10%, for example.

      r stands for F/I which is (1+f)/(1+i). This terminology seems to be creating a lot of confusion. I will add a clarification. :)
